Congregational Meeting
Sunday, February 21
12 pm at PeaceWest
We will have our Annual Congregational Meeting immediately
following the 10:45 am service at PeaceWest on Sunday, Feb. 21
to elect new Council members, Synod meeting representatives, and
host any other new or old church business. Immediately at the
conclusion of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a Special
Congregational Meeting where the Human Sexuality Task Force will
present their findings regarding the pros and cons of our
affiliation with the ELCA and other Lutheran organizations.
Voting is expected to take place at the conclusion of the
presentation to determine if we plan to stay in the ELCA or
change our affiliation. Please plan to attend this very
important meeting so that we all have a vote in deciding what
our future together will look like.
With the annual congregational meeting and special meeting coming up, we have had a lot of questions about who is a Voting Member? This is what our constitution says: Voting members are confirmed members. Such confirmed members, during the current or preceding calendar year, shall have communed in this congregation and shall have made a contribution of record to this congregation. Members of this congregation who have satisfied these basic standards shall have the privilege of voice and vote at every regular and special meeting of the congregation. I would like to highlight the phrase “of record.” What does that mean? It means that you need to use an envelope with your name on it or a check. Putting cash in the offering plate does not count as a contribution of record. It also means that you need to sign your name on the attendance pad and check mark when you take communion. The attendance pad is our official record of attendance and communion.
